Holmenkollen

Holmenkollen is Oslo in the top tier for nature, you have Nordmarka forest as your back pocket, the ski association's ambitions as local history, and views over the entire city and fjord from most apartments. The district is built into the hillside, and the housing stock is dominated by detached houses and some apartment complexes with large shared spaces and roof terraces. Furnished apartments here are rarer than in the centre, and typically come in the upper price segment with gym, sauna and a driveway to the parking garage. The district is the first choice for foreign families relocating to Oslo for half a year or more, who want a safe neighbourhood, good schools, and direct access to the forest and ski tracks. The Holmenkoll line (metro line 1) runs straight through the area.
